“As a youth, I listened to FEBC and soon believed in God. But it was very difficult because my father is the temple leader of a traditional Japanese religion. I even tried to renounce Jesus at one point, because I couldn’t attend church or reveal my faith.  But I continued to listen to FEBC for seven years and took your Bible study course. I also met a pastor who was a guest speaker on an FEBC broadcast.  He understood my circumstances and agreed to do a Bible study with me.  During each lesson I found deep joy.  While I never thought I’d step foot in a church, thanks to FEBC I was baptized in one on April 8, 2009.”
